Greatest comedy of all time getting sequel

Zoolander 2? TwoLander? TooLander? 2Lander? I'll drink a orange mochachino to that! Now give me my Fifth Element sequel (The Sixth Element - duh)!

Nerds get excited. Mario Galaxy 2 up in your face


Yoshi? Drilling through planets? Larger than moon sized dragons? I'm down.

Straight male sexual tension at it's finest

Hide your children from this creepster

UPDATE: Totes rapeface on this guy.

I need some new kicks - how about these?

Looking at my shoes the other day, I realized that the San Francisco rains have seriously taken it's toll on my once pristine white Adidas (covered in a combination of mud, oil, and possibly cat shit). I think it's time for something DARKER - a bit more serious, but something that'll provide some SWAGGER. These shoes from the adidas Originals Five Two-3 OT Tech Spring 2010 collection are exactly what the streetwear doctor ordered. Love the blue accents on these.

Future isn't now. At least this painting is awesome.

I am a real sucker for vintage future utopia paintings. So it comes as no surprise that I absolutely love this painting that was used for this Kotaku post (a bit random, no?).

This is the most disappointing thing ever


So, remember this super awesome video? The one featuring an angry nerd that sounded like he had a mouth full of spit? It's FAKE. By that, I mean the guy was acting and was just in fact a regular fat guy who's actually pretty funny. He even has a YouTube Channel where he pretends to be the angry nerd guy. UGH. Illusion shattered.

Things like this will make me fat

Eating a bunch of peanut butter pie will certainly make my poop container expand. Perhaps that's an acceptable consequence of getting to eat said pies.

Terry loves Guidos

We all know Terry Richardson only takes photos of famous people. I guess that makes the Jersey Shore guys famous. For the record, if I were to name MY abs, I'd call them "The Place Where Peanut Butter Goes" or "Poop Container".

Love this billboard for the TV show Hung. And no, not because it's a giant bulge. Bastards.

Happy soon birthday babe!

To celebrate Robin's upcoming birthday, we are going to go drinking at Delarosa. Our livers quiver in anticipation! Meanwhile, here is the flyer for this epic event. See you there!

Laser Babies > Laser Cats

Optic blast! Scott Summers would be proud.

The theme today is apparently nerds


He is so angry. So, so unhappy. So much rage. Apparently, World of Warcraft and Star Trek Online are shitty. But Star Trek Online is not as shitty as World of Warcraft... or something.

Nerds have infiltrated our daily lives

Remember when the only time you had to deal with a nerd was at the video game section at Blockbuster? After picking a game, they would crawl back into their mother's basement, never to see daylight till they had to go to the 7-11 after running out of Funyuns. Those were the days!

Now it would appear they have actually found professions not involving a C++ or a database. How else could you explain this Triforce latte sent to me by nerd queen Anna? Unless of course, she made it herself, in which case I actually despise it.

This is MGMT's new album art. Ugly.

I don't even know what to say here. MGMT, the hipsterest band in the universe presents us with album art so ugly that it must be ironic. Tongue firmly planted in cheek. Right? Who the fuck knows really. This thing looks like a Trapper Keeper throwing up all over the Saved by the Bell intro. I'm sold. Give me 20.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 looks shockingly uncrappy

As a boy who has never owned a Super Nintendo, I was always jealous of those who did. I had a Sega Genesis. Sure, we didn't have have Mario, Final Fantasy, or a good version of Street Figther 2, but dammit, we had Sonic. Sonic was awesome. He was fast and was full to 'tude. JUST LIKE ME - or so thought the 12 year old Ion.

In the past few years though, Sonic has pretty much been horrible. Gone were the 2D blazing fast levels - replaced by 3D exploring. That's not Sonic! Where's the 'tude?! Where's the speed?!

Well after 10 years or so, Sega has finally answered our cries to bring back the Sonic of yore. They are releasing Sonic 4 and it looks like a return to form. Check out this badly filmed video of someone playing it... AWESOME!

Sharktopus will make television better

First of, how awesome is that concept art? Holy crap, SO AWESOME. SyFy has greenlit a Sharktopus movie. I will be watching, much to Robin's dismay.

What's on the 4th?

These are logo comps for Infectious' recently launched monthly Free4All contest. We quickly went through three versions before finally settling on #3. To be quite honest, I'm more fond of the first two from a conceptual point of view (the 4 in the calendar representing "4" in Free4All seemed like a no brainer to me). Apparently though, the first two executions lead to people thinking February 4th had some kind of significance, which it obviously does not.

Not mad at the final version either. Just like the other versions, it easily lends itself to being constantly updated every month. Just change the month and the "pop" color and you're set. I can see the logo evolving in the next few months, but we'll see.

Any excuse to talk about Jenny Lewis

I believe my obsession with Ms. Lewis doesn't run as deeply these days, but I still really dig this photo I found a few weeks back. I've probably seen it prior to the release of Acid Tongue, but had no blog to post it to. Old news.

Back to obsessing over Gaga.

Frankie Muniz is in a band that is not very good

Thanks Ryan Hayes for exposing my life to more shitty pop punk. This is only marginally excusable because it has Frankie Muniz on drums and attempting to look like an adult. Shave kid. Your face is lookin' hella pubey with a dash of pedo creepster.

Yuppies welcome us with arms outstretched

As of last night, myself and my lady, Robin (rahbean if you're nasty) got the keys to our brand new digs in Russian Hill! Yay! It's in a quiet building on Van Ness, far, far away from the pee pee smell that plagues Nob Hill and the Tenderloin to the south. It's cute, small, and modern (just like us!).

Future plans: LCD TV and doggy. Come visit if we like you!

Asians who make food say "fuhka you!" to George Lucas by having Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, C3P0 and others shilling what appears to be mashed up fish insides. I'll take 20 cans of fish mush please!

This Superbowl ad was a winner


Yes, I too like Google's Superbowl ad, which basically failed to depict the search engine's main function of detecting porn. Getting us all teary-eyed over your little internet developed love story is fine and dandy, but nothing beats the yellow people of Springfield.

Sorry Google overlords, I'll never question you again! Don't delete my blog which you technically own!

Cellar-Fcp draws ladies attractively

I love these pieces by a Hong Kong based artist known as Cellar-Fcp. More pretty ladies here (some of them are naked, so if you're at work, make sure your boss is totally into naked ladies).

New Superbowl logo is better than actual Superbowl

Okay, so I'm pretty sure everyone who actually LIKES football would disagree with me, but yeah, I'm totally more excited about this logo than the actual game. The type here just looks SO powerful. Big, bold and in your face! JUST LIKE FOOTBALL & BEER! SPORTS! Perfect for a game involving large, muscular men, tackling each other on a grass field.

Anyways, yeah, I also like how the logo is flat, but still achieves dimensionally. The shadow underneath is a bit awkward, but I don't mind it enough to really care.

PS: Me and Robin are totally cheering for the Saints. GO SAINTS! You suck other team that is playing!

Poor little guy

Lost is awesome. Shut up Anna Hurley.

I just pulled this from an email exchange I had with Jordan & Anna. Anna hates Lost, but she's totally wrong, so her opinion doesn't matter (jk Anna. jk. Sort of). Anyhow, here's what I had to say
I'm really excited about it too! I think it's off to a great start. I imagine the end of the season being the 2 parallel universes somehow meeting and everyone having ot make somekind of choice between the 2. I also like that there's now an apparent ultimate villain (Man in black/Fake Locke/Smoke Monster). A lot of stuff was explained last night, but there are some new questions...

Jordan, I made this connection this morning... Remember the conversation between the Man in Black and Jacob and there was a ship arriving to the island in the distance? I'm PRETTY sure that's the arrival of the Black Rock (the ship on the island with all the dynamite). I think that's how the Others first came to be on the island (hundreds of years ago)... Also remember how the Man in Black mentions how he remembered Richard in chains? I'm guessing the Black Rock ship was some kind of slave vessel or a ship housing convicts...

AWESOME.
Later, Jordan sent me his friend Malachi's thoughts. They are better written than mine and I totally agree with them.
I really liked the premier and the direction the final season seems to be going in. I love the fantasy or mythology based mystery (as opposed to crime mystery) a lot, and so I find Lost to be one of the most fun shows to watch when it's firing on all cylinders, as it has been. I've heard that the alternate timeline will merge with the "correct" timeline about mid-season. It feels like the whole season is going to be basically a showdown between Jacob and the man in black (Esau?) and we'll learn a little more about the nature of the island and the forces of Jacob and Not-Locke (who, by the way, gave the creepiest face EVER during the premier. You probably know the one I'm talking about) I realized the other day that I don't much care if they don't explain much more of the mysteries. They've answered a lot more questions than I realized when looking at some of the series-long plot synopsis. I think there is still a good chance that the finale will feel sort of like a let down, but I think the last season as a whole will probably be the strongest.
Counting the moments till next Tuesday.

Don't remind me!

There's a website that exist merely to show this single graphic. Let us mourn for the passing of the last decent talk show on television. On the bright side, Lost is totally on tonight. Nothing else matters.

Good grief Darth. Blockhead.

This should fill the cute and Star Wars related quota for today. The head of Charlie Brown sprouting wings of a Tie Figther. Creepily adorable.

Hold onto your butts, Lost premiere tonight

The sixth and final season of Lost is set to premiere this evening. What better way to celebrate that gawking at these awesomely designed Lost posters by Ty Mattson? He's so good that he's won AWARDS. I bow to his design greatness.

UPDATE: Who says nothing ever good comes out of Orange County? Mattson Creative is totally based out of Irvine! He even did work for my previous hipster infested hangout, The Lab. Holla!
